Shenmue I & II release date announced

You won't have to wait long to get sweaty all over again

Shenmue I & II will be released for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One on August 21, Sega has announced.

The cult martial arts and forklift meme-generating adventure games will include modern control options, the chance to play the original game with Japanese dialogue, and scalable screen resolution.

The physical version of Shenmue I & II will feature a double-sided poster and reversible cover, while the digital edition can be pre-ordered for a 10% discount.

Shenmue was originally released on the Dreamcast back in 1999, and coined its own sub-genre; FREE, which stands for Full Reactive Eyes Entertainment. A sequel turned up two years later, but was only released on Dreamcast in Europe and Japan.

The games star Ryo Hazuki, an 18-year-old martial arts student who embarks on a quest to avenge the death of his father. He does this mainly by punching people in the face, looking for tattooed sailors, and collecting figurines from toy capsule machines.
